Mike you're everybody's favorite troublemaker living on the edge refusing to use orange cones. Thumbs up!
Today is also my daughters 36th birthday. Happy Birthday Archie!
I remember you saying in a previous video, that people where saying you needed to do this or that with the mail box. As retired rural mail carrier, I could only dream of my customer's having their boxes fixed as nice as yours. Room to get off the road, house number on the box and at the correct height nice.
im an active carrier,and i agree
When he said someone said he needed to ask, I figured all carriers would be ecstatic over having a space to get off the road.
I know you said you're leaving a little white pine there. All them roots tore up is that going to kill it.
I bought that type of silicone for the inside of my blower and garage door wheels. Nice looking culvert job. As long as vehicles stay left of the white line it's all good.
Hope you meant 1-B’s around your ADS pipe. I’ve installed miles of it and we always bed & chaulk the pipe at least 1/2 way up with 1-B clean stone. This gives great support underneath were you cant get to compact the stone and will prevent your pipe from becoming egg shaped over time.
Mike, in the UK a jobsworth would have been by now and you'd have to cone half the road off with traffic light control and warning signs up to a mile either side!
All these years of watching you dig, and I STILL find it therapeutic!!! Thank you for making my day!
Melissa showed me video of your truck, what happened!
I like your silicone idea. I, too, use a torch (of one type or another) to "cut" my fabric. Can't say mine has ever caught fire either, until I said this today. But, if it happens, now I'll be prepared for it. Thanks, Mike!
Blaster is good stuff, when I was working on the airplanes we used Aero Kroil, now called Kroil, they have to be the best stuff for a penetrating oil I have ever used they have a Graphite, Silicone and a standard product, can be hard to find sometimes but if you see it, try it you might like it. There are always those people who have nothing better to do than to write spiteful remarks to things they know nothing about, Mike, you are a better man than I am, I would go on a Rant towards those 'haters' and give them Both Barrels. The way you handle them 'on air' is commendable, I would not be so kind to them. Soon to be 'Home Owner, not Condo Dweller' from Milwaukee, WI. We bought a new place, no more HOA Dues or Karen's telling me what I can and can't do with my own house.
Jeff Selchow, In my case I wish our township would stop telling us how to live on our land. They are figuring out how the grandfather rule doesn't apply.
@@chris3m98 Yes agreed, politicians make rules because they CAN, not because they Should. I for one am getting tired of that.
Been doing what your doing for 30 years. Have the same toys, maybe a few more but the wife understands when your a one man show it’s the only way to keep up and the uses and savings are staggering . Enjoy your post.
Land clearing on hold... That driveway entrance is quite the project. Can you imagine trying to do everything when you had the old Kubota L3901... Makes me want an excavator and track loader. Constant improvement of drainage and usable areas.
Nice Camaro that went by!..lol..I did not miss that..great video Mike 👍
Sanother fine job. A little trick we use at work is to bring your loader into the ditch at an angle when bedding your pipe so the stone goes on both sides of the pipe and the stone won't push it to one side or the other. 👍
Archie, you must be setting records! The driveway is looking great and I enjoy seeing the integration of all the equipment, Mike. Melissa, I pray you are all better and eating more whole foods and grains! OWTM’s, I wish your family, from the youngest to the oldest the very best!
There is something oddly satisfying in watching a guy do excavation work with machinery. Don't know what it is but guess I am not alone in this pass time. Helps my insomnia, Lol. Rock on Mike!
Great video Mike, re the cones, not sure why it wasn’t suggested you have an orange vest on as well, many trousers with reflective stripes down the legs and mustn’t forget a cone hat with revolving, flashing light, Magyar some flag people………
That corner looks like there is the potential for some crazy driver to take out your mailbox.
I was wondering when the level would come out and loved the "nudge" and infomercial voice!
That silicone spray is probably why you did so good on this project. It was concentrating with you! 🤣. Get the drive fixed so Eva and her friends can get in and out faster. I couldn't help myself!
I don't know WHO is more talented! Mike and his juggling, or Archie catching the ball! LOL
The dirt scraping in the back of the trailer and watching it finally all slide out was oddly satisfying. 😁
Great work Mike
Put a dent in my egg sales
Good morning Melissa , good job with the camera filming 👍 doesn't Mike have enough of that Red pine to build you a nice
Timber Frame style egg stand for at the end of the driveway ? kinda like the wood shed , but on a smaller scale 👍😸😺
Bad and Melissa!
Good morning Morgan Family from SE Michigan welcome spring 😀
Thanks for the Blaster silicone trick on the pipe joints. I struggled putting two 24" pipes together. Lubed with dish soap. Helped a little but believe your scheme is better. Driveway job shaping up nice.
Archie is 3 years old already, time is flying by. Best wishes to all the family
Looking very nice there Mike. Your experience is really shining. The tree roots are exposed a lot there, hope it survives. I think the family and delivery guys are gonna love the new wide entrance, kudos - a very successful project almost in the books. Thanks Mike, this was very interesting and fun.👍🙏❤🇺🇸🇺🇸
Today here in Missouri it's supposed to be very windy around 40 to 45 mph. Rain coming in tonight and rain all day tomorrow, then after that, not sure. If i were you I would put some kind of different lighting on top of the skid steer so that people can see you, better. Maybe a magnetic light strobe.
That silicone lube should be fine we use to carry either crisco or vegetable oil in case we ran out of lube most pipe lube is vegetable oil based it wont eat the rubber seals.
I think that's smart bowling out the area at the inlet of the pipe especially at the angle the water will come in off the driveway ditch!. Your doing a great job it should work out just fine!. Morgans stay dry the next 5 days!.
The juggling trick with Archie would make a good "Short"
Thanks for sharing Mike, that's going to be a nice pull off to unload things. It will look good when it's done and done right too. Stay safe around there. Fred.
Mike those are not “boulders”, here in New England “boulders” must be at least the size of a Buick. What you have there are rocks.
Gotta love the old American muscles
Good video. I see you were lusting over the '69 Camaro SS as it went by your drive. I had as my high school car a solid silver with red interior '69 SS and I absolutely loved that car. No AC, AM radio but it sill rocked.
You obviously have some serious experts following. Orange cones 😂
Love these videos. Envious of your talent.
I love learning from other people's mistakes. Thank you for showing us the geotextile mistake Mike! :)
Great job Mike. I like the way the old Camero caught your eye. You should think about getting you an old muscle car. You and Melissa would enjoy cruising on weekends. Anxious to see how you create the trap at the beginning of the culvert.
PennDot in the 80's decided not to maintain the ditches on the side of the roads. There was a report done on that about 10 years ago
Nice job, fun video to watch.
HBD Archie!! Nice catch!!
Mike you have enough vehicles!! Mellissa caught Mike checking out a classic Camaro!!
Installed first culvert at my farm with a D-6C dozer. Lots of people stopped their car to see what the heck I was doing... Turned out nice btw.
lol! "If they don't see an orange excavator they most probably won't see orange cone!" Well said Mike. Love this channel.
The good thing about the traffic cones is they help keep vehicles out of the construction area, and if they get hit, no body usually gets hurt. Construction around traffic is always a risk because people begin looking at equipment instead of paying attention to their driving.
Most people don’t even see road construction signs with orange flags blowing in the wind and the stop and yell at you telling you that you need to put signs up when they just passed at least 3 signs on most days
Probably not a bad idea putting a few cones out, especially on a curve. In the interest of safety it would probably be a “best practice” when working near a road. Just sayin.
@@hemlockhomestead8907 Yep!
My uncle worked on road crews. He told me the cones were there to protect the crew, they make enough noise when hit by a car to warn the crew to get out of the way quickly when another idiot isn't paying attention.
It's a special day alright with Melissa in the video.
Hello! 😊
It is good practice to dig a little cavity under the spigot end of the pipe when adding an additional joint. This helps keep the bell end of the adjoining pipe from pushing dirt and rock into the mating area when the bell is pushed on to the spigot. Quite often this is why this operation becomes difficult and not properly executed. Another reason is misalignment of pipe centerlines. If lubricant is not available, use some grease from the grease gun on the tractor. Lubricant is very important. Another commentator said to use dish washing soap and that is a very good idea but use plenty.
Good morning!
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Hi Mike,. Looks like you invented a new kind of fire starter. 😀
Good morning David 😸😺
Brothers
@@oldmanfred8676 Hi Fred, Sleeping in today?
Good morning Morgan’s. Another nice day here in North Central Pa. Driveway looks nice!
The cone comment reminded me of when my dad was hauling a red shed on an implement truck. He was stopped for not having red flags. He asked the patrol man if they can't see a red shed, how are they going to see a red flag? Patrol man got into his car and drove away.
Good morning Mike it's looking nice It will be nice for the delivery trucks Tell Melissa and the family hello God bless y'all
I always go back to what you called this platform when I started watching, "They should call this YouShould". People like to sound all knowing without any background. You keep doing what you do Mike.
I'm a dirt work kind of guy with a big helping of firewood. Great video.
Good Morning. Raining here in S. Mid TN... We are still here watching.🙂
Nice work, as usual. I was wondering if you could take us back up to that culvert you laid in the trail to the pond and show how the inlet turned out.
I would like to see laying the culvert in W. Vergina property.
Pipes went together really well
Mike, in the plumbing business we use something call "Duck Butter" for pushing cast iron pipe together! Nice work!!👍👍
I like the music that you play especially the jazz you played in this episode. You do a good job, keep on doin!!
Dawn dish soap works great for the pipe lube too mike
Hats off Mike, you really can handle those machines.
Looking good. That'll be nice entrance/pull off.
It's takes some free time to be able to juggle, I am surprised as hard working as you are that you ever found time to train yourself on that.....cool !
We gotta get Mike a small Fire Truck now ...
Nice work, and speedy!! Looking great! 🪨🪨🪨👍🏻
That pipe went together really nice
Mike I’ll tell you something I love your channel but if you would not have followed that muscle car with the camera I would have unsubscribed😂and quit worrying about what people say you guys are doing it right (living that is) I can tell you guys are honest and have common sense keep it up from my family to yours. Also about this game your daughter is playing you and I grew up playing war remember so people need to stop the crap it’s all about teaching your kids right and wrong and that a game is a game. I’m a retired cop and what I’ve seen would haunt most people but most of the bad in the world comes from people not taking care of things at home. You and Melissa are excellent parents never doubt that. I was the type of cop who treated people like I wanted to be treated and never thought I was better then the next guy I know how to read people and you and Melissa are a book I could read all day you’re good people!!!!
Man, we have all been there! Start a "simple" project and one month later and five times the money we might be getting close to finishing her up!! I have A two place snowmobile trailer in my shop currently, just going to replace the plywood deck.... all new lights, all new wire, all new rewelding, new hubs and new wheels later I am getting close!! 😂😂
MIKE, you should put a catch basin at the start of that pipe! Then, you should trim that over hanging tree limb, and..... I should shut my mouth ! LOL !!
Great job Mike, it’s gonna look amazing when it’s finished! Looking forward to seeing it completed. ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼🇺🇸
That Camaro that went by sounded and looked like a 69 Z 28. Good job on the driveway!
Good morning Folks, another vary nice project finished with ease. Down dish detergent is a perfect lubricant for pipe seals!
So is Astroglyde!!😜
This project was very satisfying to watch. Good job 👍
Happy Birthday Archie! Too many more great memories! It's funny with TH-cam and pop up ads!
Love watching you work those machines with ease. Keep the videos coming.
I'm off to plow snow yet again here in NE Uzebeckasota.
Love the silicone. Used it at work as a grease, spray and dry spray. Really nice on plastics, rubber products and great for o-rings. Keep misplacing the stuff when I use it...have five or six cans hiding around the house, shed and garage! Ditch looks great. Must be a pain moving the cameras around so much. Thanks for all the work you put into the channel.
A lot of the great shots go to "camera person" Melissa - - thanks for all your efforts!!!
So cool on how you put the fire out Mike. Awesome video
Thank god you survive with 200 traffic cones, a flagman, a stack of permits, and a licensed engineer!!! At least you weren't hunted by a child with a squirt gun!!
Coming along Mike! Enjoyed the music and video!
Interested to see how you tie in the swail to the culvert pipe entrance? Also, were does the outlet go? Into an existing swail?
Happy Birthday Archie, great juggling and Archie made a great catch.
Looking good, old boy and your road sure is a busy one.
Love the silicone and how you were able to use the excavator to help slide the pipe. Also love the Camaro that drove by. And I think you did too
Gee, why didn't you paint the white line on the edge of the road yellow so people would know to use caution and not hit your cones? Your not that close to the road. Nice neat job. Looking great
😂 ya big orange machine is the cone.😂
WOW, Mike, the main road your driveway leads into is sure one very busy road !! The cars that go by are sure "whizzing" past (understanding the video is speeded up !!) But there were quite a few cars that noticed !! Must be an important roadway ?
Geez Mike... after having your expert plumber there giving you plumbing pointers I would have expected you to put the hub on the down hill side of the joint... It's all good! 😉
Actually Mike has the joint orientation correct.
11:28, instant transport to Jimmy Fallon and Jack Black saxaboom 😊 Love it!
No need for orange cones , I agree , large orange excavator is plenty enough. Not even that close to road. I enjoy your channel greatly , watch almost daily !!! Thanks for sharing !!
You obviously place too much confidence in idiot drivers - like the countless ones that slam into brightly lit police, fire and roadside safety vehicles EVERY SINGLE DAY. Besides, in almost every state, it is required by law to put traffic cones and/or construction ahead signage in work/construction areas touching on public roads and highways. Not certain about PA but regardless, at a minimum Mike is setting himself up for trouble if some pinhead isn’t paying attention and slams into him or his equipment. Especially now that on this video he has acknowledged he probably should but if someone can’t see his big Orange excavator, then oh well! Even if he is the one who gets hit, he could face some serious legal issues.
💯 % correct!
No cones !!
Nice project… great weather for it!
Use a handheld soldering iron to just melt your way through the plastic. I gave an old Weller iron with 2 temps. Don’t know if they remain on the market or not. Be careful out there.
Yep they are still out there but you need electricity. Always a complication!!!
Hey Morgan’s long time viewer, Love the length and contents of your videos perfect time to watch while I workout on the elliptical machine.
I have got mention again how rich the soil in your front yard looks. It looks wonderful. It reminds me of the soil I saw when I was visiting Minnesota and Wisconsin. The soil up there is more black than brown. Here in NC, most top soil is red. Great for ponds, not so great for gardens.
Same red dirt on Tenn
Classic PA dirt
I’d imagine the soil is the result of leaves falling from trees in forests for thousands of years.
That excavator of yours sure makes light work of those boulders you had to move !! Moved them as if they were mere "pebbles" !! Ha, Ha !!
A 5 gal bucket with, sand or rock, makes a good temporary base for the mailbox.
Great job as usual Mike. You do such good work. It’s lookin real good. I do like that silicone spray. 👍❤️
Mike a few things love your channel and family. Having been a contractor for over 30 years in the most over regulated state, I so agree with you on permits. Sometimes we do need them I agree but 9 times out of 10 if you call them there answer will will yes and it will cost this much. All about the money for them . The crazy part sometimes the permit fees cost more then the project. Keep up what your doing and god bless. Oh I have lots of family in Johnstown haven’t been back in years
I like watching the raw digging power of that 97-2... what a machine. Have you ever gotten it up to full throttle yet?
Happy birthday to Archie! He's such a great dog.
Good Morning Morgan Family! Weather here in southeast PA is turning the corner for good….hopefully.
Thats funny you mentioned about the fabric catching fire. I just cut geo fabric a few days ago and thought, man I should go grab my torch and do it the way MM does it. I ended up cutting it with my knife like a chump.
Morning!
Happy Birthday Archie 🎂. As far as the traffic control goes. It doesn't look like your living on a major road. I would have done something like a sign telling people that you're there, but I don't think that you have anything like that. I have stuff that I could do something like that.
orange cones would just give them something to aim at
the rule of thumb for culverts. is half the diameter of the pipe up to 1 foot of cover. After that it stays 1 ft.
That’s a busy road right there.
Looks like the camera “person “ must be feeling better
